If you’re looking for a classy place to sign a contract with Al Haymon, one resplendent with gravitas, why not McDonalds? Lightweight Miguel Vazquez making the Haymon move means we can almost surely forget about starting a new championship lineage by fighting Terence Crawford, since Crawford is represented by Top Rank, which despises Haymon. It’s […]
TQBR Radio 6/24: Terence Crawford Vs. Yuriorkis Gamboa Preview With Rafe Bartholomew

Robert Guerrero’s eye in the above picture (via) reminds us boxing fans that, for the second week in a row, we’ve seen a fighter win a main event bout and finish with his eye looking like something that resembles a sexual organ. And yes, that kind of humor is just what you’ll find here in […]
Robert Guerrero Wins An Absolute War With Yoshihiro Kamegai
0 comments by Tim Starks on 6/22/2014
Saturday’s Showtime main event between Robert Guerrero and Yoshihiro Kamegai was overshadowed in the pre-fight hype by Vasyl Lomachenko-Gary Russell, Jr. As an action bout, it was much, much better, one of the best of 2014, and Guerrero came out with the bloody unanimous decision. It was a Fight of the Year candidate, a kind […]

0 comments by Tim Starks on 6/21/2014
As of Saturday afternoon, Vasyl Lomachenko was 1-1 since leaving the amateur ranks. Gary Russell, Jr. was 24-0. But all of Russell’s pro fights against hopeless opponents weren’t enough to prepare him for how good Lomachenko was on Showtime Saturday night, as Lomachenko — who was fearless in taking on Orlando Salido then Russell — […]
Baffler: Russell Vs. Lomachenko Preview And Prediction
0 comments by Tim Starks on 6/19/2014
Gary Russell, Jr. vs. Vasyl Lomachenko airing Saturday on Showtime is a fight that shouldn’t be happening for so many reasons, and now that it is, it’s nearly impossible to make any sense of it. It is the most mystifying fight of 2014, and therefore one of its most alluring, outshining the main event by […]

0 comments by Alex McClintock on 6/17/2014
We’re back to using old timey images with the schedule. This one, via Flickr Commons and the Library of Congress, is of various British amateur boxers visiting New York in 1911. They don’t rock jumpsuits and moustaches like they used to. There’s a big old show this week and not much else, so we may […]
TQBR Radio 6/17: Chris Algieri Vs. Ruslan Provodnikov Recap
0 comments by Patrick Connor on 6/16/2014
After a fight weekend, there’s bound to be an outcry over the things fight fans have been subjected to. There were quite a few upset people after this last weekend; the calls of “Man, that’s messed up!” still ring clean in the June air. And then those upset people remembered that that’s just how Adrien […]

http://youtu.be/PFwA4jaSNZM Everybody’s trolling these days. The only appropriate response is to put up a couple knockout videos from recent weekends before discussing it all, so as to give you happy thoughts before delving into the sad business stuff (if you can be happy about knockouts, anyway). The one above is from this past weekend, via […]

Yes, yes, #cancelcolbert and everything, but it just makes sense: This is Round And Round, and it’s a short version of Round And Round, thus, Short Round from Indiana Jones. Besides the men in the headline in this regular column featuring fights in the works, we have rounded-up news on Gennady Golovkin, Deontay Wilder, Mauricio […]
